I like the Soi Twilight beer bars, Banana Bar with it's funky new look as you come in the soi has reasonably priced drinks and some very affable staff, they can make a good cocktail too. Same with Maxis.....excellent cocktails and nice staff, great bar just to sit and take in the Soi's comings-and-goings...as are Hotmale Bar, Dicks etc.. Scorpion hasn't changed much under the new owners, had a couple of cute waiters, one in fact very cute who kept pestering me for an off, but to be honest looked a bit on the young side.....so passed on that. But again nice easy place to have a quiet drink as is the small beerbar next door run by the former Solid mamasan.
The agogos however are a waste of space nowadays as far as I am concerned. I'm not really an agogo fan nowadays anyway, I don't go to off guys so I just go for the 'scenery' and still like to pop in as that's something we just don't have the option of doing back home. This time we decided to give X-size a try as I had noticed a stream of customers enter as we sat across from it. Upstairs we went, the dim light seemed to show a packed bar and we were shoehorned into a space for one. Off to a bad start with the drinks order, which the bf ordered, G+T/Vodka Coke arrived quickly but was a G+T and whiskey-coke. Told the waiter....this whiskey coke "yes whiskey you ask" the bf then chipped in that he had ordered vodka..." yes this vodka coke!" it's whiskey! mamasan is called in...more explanations...a check on the tab showed it was vodka coke... "you have Vodka Coke already" no! this is whiskey! finally exchanged after 15 dramatic minutes over a bloody drink!
The fuck show was in progress... getting totally bored with these now...if neither participant is attractive to you what is the point of a fuck show?...it's just mechanical boredom...on stage for all of 5 mins...then round the audience...which leaves a bunch of people staring across an empty stage at eachother with nothing going on as it's impossible to see the 'performers' until they arrive in front of you begging for their extra tip, but they take fucking ages to get round the crowd...it's actually surreal. One over-the-hill unattractive katoey who thinks that dyed blone hair will make all the difference (eh MFAS?) and an absolutely average fat arsed top......Took ages to get them back onstage for the final thrusts and screams with the now standard music-off for the two mins before they hurried off with their substantial tip cash.
Then a Big Cock show....but now this has turned into another 'round the bloody audience for a tip' routine too, as every boy after breif onstage introductions goes around each isle thrusting their manhood for a feel or as the announcer said....a suck, again this takes ages and its pure crap. Finally the agogo boys get onstage and there was a good mix of types, man, gay, femme etc.. but no sooner were they up onstage than they were corralled down in a line to pass by an obviously influential Thai (not other Asian as my bf assured me) for him to personally had over Bt100 to each boy, and stop a selected few to take a shot from the litre of JW Red...again took a while....i'm afraid there wasn't that much actually happening as an onstage 'show' for the rest of the customers in favour of tip-harvesting.
But with the arrival of the agogo boys and more lighting I could see the reality of this bar, we have never, ever seen so much downright ugly, very manly, horrendously disfigured, out-of-shape mamasans in one building!....and so many of them...there must have been 12+. The 3 friends I thought sitting with this influential Thai customer were all in fact mamasans, plus two more shrieking horrors dispensing the drinks (mostly to themselves and 'friends')..that's 5 just for one customer, and heaps more scattered around, in fact taking up precious customer space as were the agogo-boys not onstage, instead of sitting at the ends of the bars they were taking up the main seats and the customers were being crushed into remaining spaces...what a mess of a place... some mamasans and boys reluctantly gave their seats only when virtually forced out of them for the Bt300 per drink customers.
With the mamasans going around begging in between, the worst examples being when customers were receiving the bill holder back with their change and two or even 3 free-loading mamasans/managers suddenly all turn up with torches to help you distribute your change.......it was blatent pressurising, awful. It's supposed to be a bit of fun...with maybe a tip here and there.....with this bar it was a line up of out-stretched hands, mouths (fuck show bottom) and whatever else could hold on to your money from start to finish. Compared to the likes of the beerbars and even Heartbeat, where at least there was some interaction and joking with no real pressure to hand over tips to all and sundry, despite the comment about the annoying mamasan (single) there is just no comparison to the Soi Twilight cash-hoovers.
Ok moan over. I daresay many will disagree with my comments , but maybe a dozen or more years of the same stuff is maybe just taking it's toll, but the pressure to hand out tips for absolutely nothing in return...like chatting,a nice attitude, fun, service in finding good seats etc...has all but taken over. It's now a very blatant, cynical, hard-nosed attitude which has replaced 'fun'.
